Advice to become a better developer
Hello guys, I have a question. As a developer, whether it's for software development, web development, game development, how do we do to have a bit more "weight" towards our fellow friends? I mean if we consider fields like networking and security, their are lots and lots of certification but what about developments? What kind of certifications do we need to do/undertake please? Or beside certifications, what else can we do please.
Say I want to be a software developer, what would be the right way to make myself a bit more "unique" ? (please bip me for a response)

you need a cv
that's your certification
some ask for a degree, but experience trumps that - sometimes
for specific industries, you might need specific certifications
but that's it
yeah, on our cv we don't really put the projects we have done, no? only language we work on etc ?
Yeah I see
In general, is there any certifications, developers are recommended to take ?
and experience
and then you have a portfolio
ahh
my portfolio is where I showcase my projects?
no, i recommend saving your money and time
do I need to include a link to my portfolio in my cv ?
yup, that's what it is for
you can put the most revelant on the 2nd page
Normally, a CV should it be only one page long? I use the templates from canvas etc but I read that this might not be the best choice because of how our CVs are automatically read (forgot what technical term they use for the machine)
you can go to 2 pages, but don't make it huge
Ok, noted
